Koodo offers me data add-on deal - is there a catch?

Hello,

I'm in Nova Scotia on a grandfathered plan that originally came with 2 GByte of data and where I was later given an extra 500 MB a month for free. My data overage is 2 cents/Mbyte, so just over $20 per GByte. Usually that's enough, but last month I had a few dollars data overage. No problem with that.

I can not seem to add any data add-ons through self serve.

Today, Koodo offered me to add 500 MBytes for $5 1 Gbyte for $10 per month. I could maybe use an extra GByte this month, and likely next month, too.

But I wonder: Is there any catch? Will my free 500 MBytes add on vanish? Will my 2 cents data overage be changed?

And can I cancel the new add-on any time? The text message I have received doesn't clarify any of that.

Your $0 500MB add on feature would likely need to be removed. I am pretty sure you can only have a single data add on feature active.
Your data overage rate should not change as it's part of your base plan. You will only lose that overage rate if changing the base plan.

We think everyone should be able to afford a wireless phone. That's why we were the first wireless company in North America to offer pay-by-the-second airtime, and why we don't charge an activation fee. NO scary contract to sign. Immediate national coverage. And a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Yes, it's finally time to get a wireless phone.

I just looked in my text and had one to get 1GB for free for 6 months before July 15, 2016 but didn't want to risk my MB plan so ignored. I assume this is just a continuation of this every 2 months after this originally expired. Maybe they will do it again but our family members don't typically go over 2-2.5GB / mo each anyway
